Coronary intima: the phylogenetic approach to appearance of lesions
Medecine Interne
|July 1, 1986
Abstract:
In the course of phylogenetic evolution the coronary artery intima undergoes changes in the composition of the ground substance (from hyaluronic acid-like substances to sulphate ones) and a relative increase of the intimal thickness. A correlation was found between these changes and the increasing propensity for coronary atherosclerotic lesions.
